We will often times have 3 people on a 6' deck 2 shooting recurves and me a longbow. So what if you clack limbs once in a while, that's just the way it is. I shoot trad bows because I want it to be just me and the bow with no help from the gadgets. It's simple, pure and graceful and every shot is all good. If you are a, "gotta have it" kinda guy (meaning every shot must count as the optimal) and you shoot lots of tournys and 2nd place is nothing but a looser, then look into a Koolaid bow. If you mostly shoot for fun and just love the flight of an arrow consider a recurve at the 50# range.
thats probably the perfect explanation.
 
but when I dome shot a buffalo running like an angry bear out of the shallows at 20 yards in the face....and it falls over sideways still kicking...Ill keep bustin them with my lever bows....to each his own I guess. Traditional bows just lack the power but win with simplicity. I have to be able to punch thru big fish without turning the bow inside out to get all the power it can expel.

2 words. GET SOMEEEEEEEEEEE
 
i loved my recurves, until i crushed my shooting fingers and couldnt pull the 60 pounds back anymore. now i'm a lever fanatic
 
I started out w/ the ol' trusty 50# PSE Kingfisher & it worked out fine for our shallow very rocky bottom rivers or lakes but it wasnt cutting it on Rays in the Bay w/ deeper water & them hauling butt away. So I drank me a big glass of Koolaid & wont go back to the ol' stick-n-string... unless I have too of course.

Truth is, Taylor caught him shooting a recurve and a retreiver so he broke his fingers ^^

Now he shoot a lever-bow and a spinner, now no more broke fingers...... :)
